Leave a Review Microsoft Teams
Buggy
New teams - now with even more bugs! Half the features don't work, desktop settings like disabling animations aren't available on mobile, plug-ins (what microsoft stupidly decided to call "apps") can't be removed once installed, autocorrect doesn't work more often than not, notifications are inconsistent, bluetooth device compatibility is lacking, and the app uses an absolutely insane amount of memory and cpu. All of this to say that this is just another 'high quality' product from microsoft. Two different chat clients in 3 years and they still don't have feature parity with messenger, slack, discord or zoom. It must be embarrassing working for microsoft - how can anyone on their teams be proud of the software they publish? Apps used to go through qa testing before being released but not this one - they'll constantly force broken updates to your device in the middle of the day and then refuse to roll it back or fix the problems. Submitting feedback from within the app doesn't do anything, no idea if it sends or not because the window just closes. Buttons are frequently unresponsive. The original teams was bad enough but this new one is a jokeShow lessMarkh142
Terrible port to iOS
I use Teams almost every day on my work PC. This iOS version is awful! I joined a meeting and found there’s no “focus on speaker” setting, so I was stuck in a gallery and couldn’t see the person talking. I accidentally made the video vanish and couldn’t restore the video view. It became an audio only meeting for me, with no ability to get the video back. Joining the meeting from a web-style link was impossible and errored out three times. Only a direct link from the original invite worked. That required me to find a different email. I was late to the meeting as a result. Even then, it required me to allow Teams to connect to other devices on my network—which I then turned off immediately. There’s no need for it to connect to anything but my router! Since it’s logged in to my work account, many features aren’t available if I have a meeting with people outside my organization. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! What’s the point, then, of using Teams—and all the fees that go with it—if features are blocked? I don’t know if Microsoft is intentionally diminishing the capabilities for iOS or if they’re just not competent at programming for Apple devices, but this was frustrating to use and I don’t recommend it.Show lessElwood64151
Super frustrated with recent update
I use Teams on my phone to take work meetings without needing to sign into a Microsoft account. It used to work great. Since a recent update though, joining a meeting without signing in is a terrible process. When I click the Join link in my email, it no longer puts me directly into the meeting; it makes me enter the Meeting ID and Passcode manually. To do that, I need to copy the ID from my email, switch apps, and paste it into Teams, then switch back to email, copy the passcode… and AUGH when I switch back to Teams, it has backed out automatically to the Sign In screen, which means my Meeting ID is gone. I literally had to copy the Meeting ID and Passcode into a notes app, put them together as one string of text, copy that text, paste it into the Teams Meeting ID field, then select and cut the Passcode part on its own so that I could paste in both pieces of data that I needed without leaving the Teams app (and losing my progress). Microsoft WHY did you make joining a meeting without signing in so difficult and bad?? I promise you that no matter how annoying you make it, I am not going to sign in on my phone, even though that’s clearly what you want and what you’re prioritizing. Please fix this, thank you.Show lessRI UXer
